An ftpmaster recently rejected a NEW upload that was split like this,
and the justification appears to have been that it was micropackaging
without benefit (see Subject lines for the last two weeks of DPT
emails).

Why?  Also, is this a case where Policy (and/or DPT policy) needs to be
amended?

I don't have a stake in this, but now there appears to be a direct
contradiction in policies...'hopefully clearing this up will go smoothly
in a low-drama way! :)

Nicholas
